you might not see the difference, but it's there and it's been written into the law; what her husband thinks is irrelevant to his BAC

you know what'd be ironic?

he's riding along on his moped

since he can't legally drive a car

on his way to a community service speaking

to tell kids how drinking can ruin peoples lives

when suddenly

out of nowhere

WHAM!

HOLY SHIT!

a graboid eats him

I didn't say there wasn't a difference legally, but responsibly, I see it the same personally. If you drive drunk, knowing full well that you could very likely kill someone, then if/when you do, it all your own fault just the same as if you'd killed them on purpose. It was completely avoidable, and any normal person would have been aware of the very real and potential consequences.

My point is that this isn't just a mistake. It was a conscious, deliberate, and irresponsible action that killed someone, and there should be more appropriate consequences than a relative slap on the wrist compared to much less severe crimes.

Most people at .12 probably aren't falling over themselves, sloppy drunk, but they would be more than quite buzzed enough to know that they shouldn't drive. Stupidity is not an excuse for killing someone.

Not that it matters now, but that's just my .02 on the topic.
